IMPROVED HORSE-COLLAR-PAD PRESS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making paxt o! the same To whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN FRASER, of Dowagiac, in the county of Cass and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Collarpad Presses; and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and being a part of' this specification, in whichf Figure 1 is an elevation;

Figure 2-is a longitudinal section; and

llignrel is an end plan of the finishing-block.

Like letters indicate like parts in each figure.

The nature ot' this invention relates to an improved construction of presses for the sha-ping of 4horse-collar 'pads` so that the time and trouble spent in crimping are'saved, and lthe lea-ther can be worked np with little or no loss.

It consists in constructing a saddlefshaped block, fitting into a. block which is conformed to its shape, between which is placed the piece of leather for the vinner lining of a pad, the two blocks then being closely pressed together' in a suitable frame; also, in a finishing-block, as hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the drawings- A represents a saddle-shaped block or shell, which may be constructed of .any suitable cast. mgm

In the hollow of this block A rigidly secured a wooden block, A'.

Block B is conformed to the shape of the block A,

tion of a ycollar-pad, in the finishing-block D, which is l then substitut-ed for the block B, when the blocks A A are inserted and the whole tbrced into propel' shape, as above described. f

rlfhe operation of this device is so simple that a. further description is deemed unnecessary.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isj ln a collar-pad press, the` blocks'A, A', B, and D, in combination with the frame. G and wedges E, when constructed and operating as and for the purposes herein set forth.

Witnesses: JOHN FRASER.
